SLR was originally targeted at 550, but it came out late and the new 599GTB is more than a match for SLR. Hope this doesn't repeat with this new car, aimed at 430/Gallardo now, but when released already eclipsed by 430/Gallardo's successor.
Come on, where's the magic gone? McLaren's magic on the F1 allows it to stand tall and proud for many years, even by modern standards it is a supercar to be beaten on various parameter. Really hoping that McLaren can recapture that magic. But i guess with Gordon Murray gone (and various other key personnel in F1's design), and Mercedes demanding their car to be loaded with every rubbish comfort and safety measures that can be fitted, we shouldn't be hoping too much

I also thought they stopped the production of the SLR in order to build the SLR convertible...I read that somewhere. Anyone knows anything about that?

slr only hit 201 with that much power? Hard to understand why so low. I mean does it have that much drag? Im sure it can go more. And the 599 GTB hitting 208? Ok that really was a suprise, awesome!

What the hell is up with those radiators? Unless the front of the car goes about 3ft infront of the wheels I don't think it will be very aero dynamic..
Something smells fishy about this prototype.. (Winding Road?)

^^ Looks more like a Zonda than an SLR to me... Anyway, I hope it'll be better than that one..

Doesn't look like a mid priced supercar.
